Quality Over Speed: The Journey to Our Grand Opening
If there is one thing we’ve learned as artists, it’s that true craft cannot be rushed. Whether it’s the fine-line detail of a new design or the saturated color of a finished piece, greatness requires patience.
We are applying that same philosophy to The Inksmith & Co. itself.
The April Pivot
We have made the intentional decision to move our official Grand Opening celebration to Saturday, April 11th. While we were eager to throw the doors open sooner, we realized that "good enough" isn't the Inksmith standard.
We want our public debut to be perfect. That means waiting for the Central Oregon ground to thaw so we can set our custom street sign in concrete, finishing our interior bathroom remodel, and ensuring every corner of the studio reflects the high-end, artisan experience we promised Prineville.
We are Officially "Soft Open"
Here is the best part: You don't have to wait until April to get tattooed. We are currently in our Soft Opening phase. Our stations are sterile, our needles are moving, and we are actively booking appointments. Think of it as an exclusive "sneak peek" period. You get the same mastery and care we are known for, just with a little "work in progress" energy happening in the background as we finalize our facility.
Deepening Our Roots
Part of "doing it right" means being more than just a business—it means being a neighbor. We are proud to announce that we are officially joining the Prineville Chamber of Commerce.
We aren't just here to tattoo; we are here to support our fellow local entrepreneurs and contribute to the vibrant culture of our town. Our goal is that our Grand Opening on April 11th will feature an official Chamber Ribbon Cutting, and we can’t wait to share that milestone with the community that has already welcomed us so warmly.
The Road to April
Between now and our Grand Opening, we aren't slowing down. Keep an eye out for:
The February Flash Event: A celebration of "Connection and Chosen Family."
Gumball Roulette: Our favorite way to let fate choose your next piece of art.
Shop Logs: Behind-the-scenes updates as we finish our remodel and install our sign.
